Clear, cool water...

[BikeWriter]

I drank a cup of cool water just now. I know that stuff will rust your pipes if you're not careful, but it tasted good for a change. Do you ever indulge in it? Inquiring minds want to know.

[ET Awful]

1. All day I face the barren waste without the taste of water

coooool water . . .

[BikeWriter]

3. I wondered if anyone would make that connection!

[Beaverhausen]

42. Old Dan and I, our throats slate dry

our spirits cry out for water
Cool, clear water!

Joni Mitchell did a really great version many years ago - had Willie Nelson singing harmonies. Killer!

[BikeWriter]

43. Willie Nelson is one of my favorites, too!

[Squatch]

2. Only if it comes in beer form

[BikeWriter]

4. I drink most of mine in whisky and Coke form.

[Midlodemocrat]

5. I have been drinking this vitamin water from Costco

and it is delicious. Lightly sweetened, various flavors.

[BikeWriter]

8. That's probably not as bad as Colas are.

[Midlodemocrat]

9. I don't think so. No calories. I don't drink soda.

I drink unsweetened iced tea. I don't care for sweet drinks like soda.

[azmouse]

12. Me too!

When I moved to the desert 15 yrs ago I lost my taste for sweet drinks. It's sooo dry here that
the sugar in soda just made me feel thirstier. We joke that iced tea should be the official beverage
of AZ because everyone here seems to drink it by the gallon.

[Midlodemocrat]

18. I make a pitcher every night and drink it the next day.

I just love iced tea. Totally quenches my thirst.

[BikeWriter]

21. I should do tea more often. Unfortunately, I'm addicted to Coke.

[BikeWriter]

14. I drink my iced tea unsweetened, too. It took years to break the habit...

of tea with loads of sugar. It's a Southern thing, and was okay when we worked our asses off and needed the energy.

[Wapsie B]

6. Mama never understood

What it`s like for a losing man
When her number one son goes bad
Playing cards with the devil`s hand

But daddy got real sick so quick
For wars I`ll never understand
I was the one that good with the fun
Took the money from the rich man`s land

Gimme some water
Cause I shot a man
On the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Gimme some water
I need a little water


I'm gonna go drink about a quart and a half right now. ahhhhhhh!

[BikeWriter]

10. LOL! That's a cool song, thanks.

[realisticphish]

7. i live on bottled water

i can't drink the chlorinated shit they have in the taps. at my parents' house, we have a water cooler

[BikeWriter]

11. I'm used to the chlorine, but sometimes it does taste much stronger!

[wildhorses]

13. I am blessed to live by a creek and also underground springs

are on my property. I have a well and my water is pure, clean, cool and sweet. None of that city chlorinated crap for me, thanks.

[BikeWriter]

16. Mmm, you're lucky! I remember how good the water in Alaska was.

[Hugin]

15. I prefer mine to be diluted down with beer.

I need a little flavor to change the taste in my mouth.

(Aside: Do you remember the "beer pellets"? They were like an Alka-Seltzer tablet.
Awful!)

[BikeWriter]

19. Beer pellets? Seems like I recall something... I'll Google...

[BikeWriter]

20. Fake Beer Pellets

Fake Beer Pellets


Drop a pellet in a glass of water. It looks like beer, fizzes like beer, even tastes like (very bad) beer. Make your friends and family laugh with this great practical joke! (Fake Beer Pellets)

[Hugin]

22. LOL!

Now they've added the word "fake" to them...

:rofl:

Thanks for searching this up BikeWriter.

[BikeWriter]

25. LOL! Yep, I imagine they taste like hell.

[Call Me Wesley]

17. Levitated water here. (nt)

[BikeWriter]

24. Levitated Water and Health (Interesting!)

[Call Me Wesley]

28. Yes, that's the machinery

being used on it. Unfortunately, this guy stole it all from Viktor Schauberger:

[BikeWriter]

31. Hmm, his engines sound like turbines, but with water.

[Shell Beau]

23. I drink lots and lots of water everyday!

:)

[BikeWriter]

26. Yes'm, but you disappeared for a week, too!

I hope all that water didn't have something to do with it.

[Shell Beau]

27. Hahaha! Not that I know of!

;)

[BikeWriter]

29. Okay, Sweety. I just don't trust too much water...

You can drown in that stuff!

[tjwmason]

30. I'm very fond of water

I'm very fond of water and I drink it noon and night,
Not Rechab's son or daugher Had therein more delight.

I breakfast on it daily,
And nectar itdoth seem,
When once I've mixed it gaily
With sugar and with cream.
But I forget to mention,
That in it first I see
Infused or in suspnension,
Good Mocha or Bohea.

I'm very fond of water,
I drink it noon and night
No mother's son or daughter.
Had therein more delight.

At lucheon, too, I drink it,
And strength it seems to bring;
When really good, I think it
A liquor for a King.
But I forget to mention,
'Tis best to be sincere,
I use and old invention
That makes it into Beer.

I'm very fond of water,
I drink it noon and night
No mother's son or daughter.
Had therein more delight.

I drink it, too, at dinner,
I quaff it full and free,
And find, as I'm a sinner,
It does not disagree.
But I forget to mention,
As thus I drink and dine,
To obviate distension
I join some Sherry Wine.

I'm very fond of water,
I drink it noon and night
No mother's son or daughter.
Had therein more delight.

And then, when dinner's over,
And business far awat,
I feel myself in clover,
And sip my eau sueree.
But I forget to mention,
To give the glass a smack,
I add, with due attention,
Glenlivet or Cognac.

I'm very fond of water,
I drink it noon and night
No mother's son or daughter.
Had therein more delight.

At last, when evening closes,
With something nice to eat,
The best of sleeping doses
In water still I meet.
But I forget to mention,
I think it not a sin,
To cheer the day's declension
By pouring in some gin:

I'm very fond of water,
It ever must delight
Each mother's son or daughter.
When qualified aright.

That said - I do actually drink lots of water. I always have a glass on my desk at work, which gets refilled several times during the day - and drink lots more in the evening at home.

[BikeWriter]

32. I suppose it is good for you (in controlled quantities!)

[necso]

33. Speaking of "Cool Water(s)",

you can download a copy here:

http://www.marymclaughlin.com/graphics/Cool%20Waters.mp3

On a PC with IE, right click on the above link and select "Save Target As".

Or you can go to the page and search for "Cool Waters":

http://www.marymclaughlin.com/recordings.html

It's (just) a good song, although probably not to everyone's taste. (Quoting: "Mary McLaughlin is a singer/songwriter who is steeped in the Gaelic song tradition of her native Ireland.")

And it's free to download.

...

[BikeWriter]

36. Thank you, that's a cool song!

[necso]

37. I wish that the site would offer

"She Moved Through the Fair" from "Celtic Voices" as a free download too.

[BikeWriter]

38. I like that sort of music now and then, too.

[necso]

40. I like many kinds of music...

that is, when I am in the right state(s) of mind.

Sometimes I can put myself in the right state of mind for this or that -- sometimes I must wait for the right state of mind to come of itself -- and sometimes I must wait for the moment that the thing itself dictates.

...

Oh, and it's meant be read as: "Timing can be everything." -- Sometimes you can even force the timing.

But always you should at least think about it. Because you can have everything else right -- and still fail because of bad timing.

34. Beware of drinking too much...

District Officer Dies After Bike Ride

A highly honored 25-year-old D.C. police officer died yesterday after he apparently drank too much water Tuesday while training to use a bicycle on patrol, police officials said.

Doctors believe that hyponatremia, a sodium imbalance caused by drinking excessive amounts of fluid, most likely caused or contributed to the death of Officer James C. McBride, police officials said. McBride consumed as much as three gallons of water during and after the 12-mile training ride Tuesday morning, police said.

~snip~

This friendly warning brought to you by a woman with too much shit in her head. Lousy short term memory but I can recall stuff like this? :banghead:

[BikeWriter]

35. I've heard of that before. It is tragic in a healthy person.

[SmileyBoy]

39. I probably drink more water than most human beings.

It's good for keeping the diabetes risk down.

[BikeWriter]

41. I used to go through gallons each day when working...

in this hot Texas sun.

[NMMNG]

44. I drink lots of water

I have it with every meal, plus I have a filtering bottle I carry with me to work so I have a never-ending supply with me at all times.

[BikeWriter]

47. A filtering bottle, huh? Does it filter the chlorine?

[NMMNG]

48. Chlorine, tastes, odors, silt, sediment, E-coli, Cryptosporidium,

Giardia and other bacteria, Radon, Aluminum, Asbestos, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Lead, Mercury, etc. I only use it for tap water but if need be I could use it for pond/lake water. It's made by Clearbrook.

[BikeWriter]

50. That sounds like it could be a handy item in an emergency...

Thank you, I'll watch for them where I buy my camping gear. :-)

[NMMNG]

52. I'm not sure if they sell them in stores

I ordered mine online here. They're a bit pricey, but one filter lasts for 160 refills for untreated water and 640 refills for treated water (e.g., tap water). So really, it's well worth the price.

[BikeWriter]

53. Thank you. That looks as handy as pockets on a shirt.

[hickman1937]

45. Other. Used to love it but I had to kill it.

It's buried right in my dad's back yard. I've always wondered if I'd have turned out better if the well pipes hadn't been so close to the septic tank.

[BikeWriter]

46. That can be a problem with wells. You turned out just fine!

[hickman1937]

49. Thank you BikeWriter!

First person that's said that to me in years except my big brother Billy. He has no discretion though. He's one of those bozos that just loves and accepts his siblings.

[BikeWriter]

51. I've got siblings like that, too. Ain't it great? Billy's right though.

:)

[hickman1937]

54. Billy's the oldest, and the achiever.

Did it left and did it the best. 54yrs old at the top of his chosen profession, and all he gives a damn about is his wife, kids, and brothers and sisters, although he doesn't take any crap from our RW youngest brother.

[BikeWriter]

55. That's good. He deserves his success, then.
